I have read these articles before. But these definitions are from a different time and have an unnecessary stigma attached to them (How did non aligned countries end up meaning poor ?).
I don't think India is a developed (what does this even mean anymore) country, nor will it be one in the near future. But I think calling one of the largest economies (4th in PPP, 9th in nominal gdp) as third world a bit simplistic..
- nodemaker 14y agoThats funny because there are so many third world countries, with higher per capita incomes, better infrastructure and far better legal systems than India.
- pavanky 14y agoBy the same measure, there are may be a dozen countries ahead of USA. So what is your point ?
- nodemaker 14y agoMy point is that there are third world countries (and they are universally regarded so) which are better than India in a lot of respects. I am indian, I have travelled to some of the other third world countries and have seen it myself. So basically, India is not even the better one among third world countries.
